SINGAPORE \u2013 A male teenager who allegedly drove at 174kmh on an expressway is set to be charged with several traffic-related offences on May 28.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old is allegedly involved in two other traffic-related incidents, the police said in a statement on May 27.<\/p>\n
In the first case, which took place at about 10.50pm on Jan 16, Traffic Police officers were patrolling along Paya Lebar Road towards Upper Paya Lebar Road when the driver of a car sped off upon seeing them, leading to a pursuit.<\/p>\n
The driver allegedly drove at high speed, reaching 174kmh on the ECP, where the speed limit is 90kmh, and along Guillemard Road at 96kmh, where the speed limit is 40kmh.<\/p>\n
He also ran multiple red traffic lights and drove against the flow of traffic along several roads, including Ubi Avenue 2 and Lorong 28 Geylang.<\/p>\n
During the pursuit, the driver allegedly collided with five stationary vehicles along Paya Lebar Road and Guillemard Road.<\/p>\n
The car eventually stopped after colliding with a sixth stationary car at the junction of Marine Parade Road and Still Road South, the police said, adding that the driver of the sixth car and his 15-year-old passenger were injured due to the collision.<\/p>\n
The teen, who fled on foot after the last collision, was later arrested by TP officers. The car he was driving was later found to have been deregistered and had a fake number plate.<\/p>\n
A vaporiser and a pod were found in the car when he was arrested.<\/p>\n
No further action was taken following investigations by the Health Sciences Authority due to insufficient evidence.<\/p>\n
According to the police, the teen was also involved in a Jan 8 incident, where police conducting checks on a car at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre carpark found that he had driven the car from Haig Road to MBS.<\/p>\n
The car in this incident, which was different from the one in the Jan 16 incident, was also found to have been deregistered and carrying a fake number plate, the police added.<\/p>\n
The teen was also allegedly involved in a third incident on Jan 30, 2025, where he took his grandmother\u2019s car without her knowledge, and drove it without her consent for about one hour before returning it.<\/p>\n
The grandmother informed the police when she realised the car was missing. The car was later located nearby.<\/p>\n
The teen faces several charges, including dangerous driving causing hurt, driving while underage, failing to stop when ordered by a police officer and driving a deregistered car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
